A - Temperature in the air is increased by the process of moisture condensation.
B - The amount of water vapor the air can hold depends on air temprature. At higher temprature the air can hold more water vapor.
C - The temperature to which air must be cooled for saturation to occur is called its dew point.
D - The limit at which the air contains as much moisture as it can hold for a given temperaure is called sublimation point.

the answer is D.
Sublimation is when a solid converts directly to a gas and vice-versa, skipping the liquid phase. Dry-ice goes from solid to CO2 gas at normal atmospheric pressure. Pressure has to be drastically increased to see CO2 in three phases.

D is false, the statement should read "The limit at which the air contains as much moisture as it can hold for a given temperature is called 'saturation' point."
